Here it is, the final leg of the U.S. Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes going at 1 1/2 mile on the dirt at Belmont, New York next Saturday, the 5th of June. Smarty Jones will win another $5 M bonus if he wins this one, and be the first to win all 3 Triple Crown races in 26 years.( Kentucky Derby, Preakness, Belmont) Here are the past performances odf the probable starters.

I like the Smarty Jones/ Purge quinella.

Glenn

would love to see Smarty Jones win the triple crown after reading about he's fairytale story, and a win would almost certainly garauntee us of another great hollywood movie involving the sport of Kings. Glenn, do you know of a site i can watch the race or listen to the race live from.

Cheers ED

You can sign up for a membership with you-bet.com and watch it there. Deposit no money, but they'll let you have 10 or so hours of video without a wager. Your computer will have to be on broadband(cable, DSL or satellite) to watch it, however.

Regards,

Glenn

Was impressed with Rock Hard Ten in the Preakness although well beaten by Smarty.

Currently showing 8/1, with Smarty Jones odds-on.
